I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Hanslope for our house move. Our broker has since notified us that our mortgage lenders Accord Mortgages Ltd won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Banks ordinarily restrict either the category or the volume of conveyancing firms on their member panel. Typical examples of such criteria being that a law practice must not be a sole practitioner. As well as restricting the profile of firm, a few lenders have decided to limit the amount of firms they use to represent them. Be aware that Accord Mortgages Ltd have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Accord Mortgages Ltd Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a primary driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there are mixed views about the extent of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Figures from the Land Registry reveal that plenty of law firms, including some in or near Hanslope only execute a couple conveyances a year.
We previously chose conveyancing lawyers locally in Hanslope on the UBS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental sum for handling the UBS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by UBS?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancer may charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by UBS but by your Hanslope conveyancer. Some firms on the UBS panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
The mortgage over my property is with Skipton for my property in Hanslope. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Skipton?
Skipton must be informed of your intention in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Skipton’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Skipton will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Skipton directly. You need not do this via a Skipton conveyancing panel firm.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Hanslope. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £200. A few days later, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me to say that they were not on the Principality conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Principality panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Hanslope is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Hanslope are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Hanslope you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hanslope may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
Do I need to be wary that third parties that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Hanslope conveyancing firm?
As is the case with many service providers, often recommendations from relatives can be very helpful. Nevertheless there are numerous people with a keen interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may recommend lawyers to select. Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there may be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the right to select your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that the majority of banks operate an approved list of law firms you have to use for the lender aspect of your transaction.
